Homework done (sort of!)


This picture sums up Katy's day.  Annoyed when came home from a school trip to a tudor house; angry because one of her other girl-friends got to dress as a knight, while Katy and Polly had to wear a dress each.



My day has followed the usual pattern - a squidgy walk in the meadow mud, followed by catching up on benefit admin and other things, sleep, shopping for a few ingredients for Millionaire Shortbread, collect girls from school.

Amongst all this, I measured a puddle all day for Katy's numeracy homework.  She tried to do it on Sunday, but after three half hour measures, it rained.  Katy has drawn a graph to show the change in size over time.  At the end of the evening, we went out for a final measure, to discover tyre marks!  A car had driven through it - no water left!  Martha has finished a report about Orangutans, but has not finished her spelling research.  Both have a note of apology in their link books.  I am not worried about it because they really have done all that they can.

I have set up this laptop to be able to print.  My laptop has been sent away, and we had no other laptops set up to print.  I found the CD, and have then followed the long instructions through to having a link between laptop and printer.  It took me a couple of hours.  Relief, when I am finally able to print the orangutan report for Martha to hand in.  Hooray!

So, I am a mixture of satisfied and drowsy.  I think I can hope for a more restful day, tomorrow.

Have a good day :)
loads of love
